In many ways, the Motoman DA20 looks and performs like a human. Its dual arms and central base provide incredible dexterity. Considered "a quantum leap in robot technology," the DA20 is ideal for assembly, part handling, and machine tending applications.
With one rotary axis at the base and two 6-axis arms, the flexible D20 has a total of 13 axes of motion. Each arm offers a payload of 20kg and a 756mm reach. The DA20's dual arm design provides unique performance.
The Fanuc LR Mate 200iC is faster and more compact than its predecessors. The size of a human arm, this mini robot moves with 152% more speed and 50% more accuracy than the LR Mate 200iB.
The LR Mate 200iC is designed for Light, Efficient, Accurate and Nimble (LEAN) performance. It is well-suited for a variety of high-speed applications, including material handling and removal, machine tending, and assembly. It handles a 5kg payload.
The LR Mate 200iC offers exceptional versatility.
The Motoman IA20 provides the same fluidity of motion as a human arm. Its innovative 7-axis design is ideal for tight spaces, earning it the nickname, "snake."
This revolutionary robot won the International Leonardo daVinci Award for Innovations (2006) as well as the Industrie Paris Excellence in Productivity award. Incredibly flexible and lithe, the IA20 only takes up a cubic foot of floor space when extended vertically.
Unveiled in May 2007, the Kuka KR 1000 titan defies limitation. The strength of this 6-axis heavyweight earned it a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
With a payload of 1000 kg and maximum reach of 3202mm, the KR 1000 can handle tasks that normally take two robots. Its work envelope covers 78 cubic meters.
Nine motors, together generating as much power as a mid-sized car, run the KR 1000.
Motoman's Super Speed welding robots reduce cycle times by 15%. Announced in June 2007, these 6-axis, articulated models are the fastest welding robots in existence. This speed is achieved with a 40% axis movement increase. Their design reduces air-cut time 30%.
The SSA2000 handles up to 3kg and extends 1,390mm horizontally. Internally routed cabling minimizes cable wear and streamlines movement and footprint.
The SSF2000 is designed for arc welding applications only.

The Robots.com car made its debut at Michigan International Speedway on August 19, 2006. RobotWorx teamed up with McGill Motorspots, a Nascar Busch Series team, to sponsor their #36 car for an exciting race. Nascar driver Jeff Green piloted to a strong 22nd finish in a tough field that included 25 Nextel Cup regulars.
